It's not really non-repudiation if the keys are not controlled by the author of the email. In the case of Gmail, Google is signing the outgoing mail on your behalf. Anyone at Google, and anyone with access (whether obtained legitimately or not) to your Gmail account, could have written the email.

There are degrees of non-repudiation. In a court of law, you may be right - there is reasonable doubt as to authorship. But when a public figure's emails leak to the New York Times, the standard might be a little lower.
